So apparently when life gets rearranged and I earn free time I didn't think I'd have, I get impulsive. So here is Alyosha, the adorable cuddly spawn of the former Ace of Spades. Because that doesn't sound like a bad plan that sounds like a good plan.

Aleksei is a super new arrival to Spades, and is generally a charming normal 16-year-old boy from Outside who's been sent here to get trained up to be a Spade. More about him here, but clearly CR is going to be made shiny and new.

Yes. Just. Hi again.

WHY IS IT ALWAYS MY FAULT











IT IS NOT ALWAYS MY FAULT OKAY

[thepupthatmatters]

I HAVE LIVED FOR YEARS WITH EVERYTHING BEING MY FAULT
YOU WILL SURVIVE

[theacethatmatters]

hmph HMPH I SAY



Also.


So.


CR thoughts? I mean, I don't know about this....

[thepupthatmatters]

♥ ~~~



What if.
Hear me out.
What if they're related. :|aaaa



WHAT IF.

[theacethatmatters]

THAT'S SO CRAZY IT JUST MIGHT WORK

HOW DID YOU EVER COME UP WITH IT



Though really, who would believe Julien would ever have no-strings-attached sex with some random person....:|a

[thepupthatmatters]

It's a long shot, I know, but let's roll with it. :|a

Post incoming in like ten promise lsjdk what are words. I've never actually. Done a new arrival before. I'm realizing now. Huh.

She's lying. It's always her fault. Evan Ernst All the Es

So I've been thinking about this, and I suspect Jordan will be the one most likely to interact with Edmund Aleksei. He's not a trainer, but he trains his cousins, so they might see each other the most frequently.

Having said that, watch him stunt his growth by drinking coffee with Zoe or develop a teenage crush on her or Avery, just because.

[thepupthatmatters]

I didn't think you could save it with Aleksei but then you did because Skandar and I will n e v e r stop laughing. ♥

I imagine Jordan isn't looking for teenage friends, but that Aleksei will probably hit it off with some cousin or other. Hopefully sometimes this will mean he gets headpats from the older Novaks when he does good at hitting things.

Just because of strong life choices, you mean. Zoe would be such the worst choice ever for a crush but watch it happen.

[uncutclarity]

I HAVE MAD SKILLS WITH LAME JOKES.

He is not looking for teenage friends, but a teenage mentee wouldn't be the worst thing ever.

It would be hilarious we all know this. Also who doesn't crush on this face:

Take him under your wing, Jordan. Help him grow in the ways of snark and stabbing.

And who doesn't want this face flirting badly with them:



I MEAN, COME ON.

[uncutclarity]

These are things he excels at. Being a likeable person not so much, so he might need another tutor for that one.

HE'S JUST SO PRECIOUS. I wonder how long it'll take her to notice. Maybe Victor will notice first.

[onlytolerable]

(I still say I'd love to see Julien with a daughter.)

So, um. He might be aware of the Queen. Just sayin'. Will he feel comfy with the Spades or is he there for daddy?

My other characters are pretty much off his radar. Monty is technically the Club ambassador to the Spades, so they could meet. He could meet Tess due to large amounts of siblings/cousins/Marc spawn. Maggie will feed him if he shows up near her. Sophie will find him just the right book if he wanders around the Diamonds.

[thepupthatmatters]

(What if all of us picked up children of various ages. What if Julien has 30 children. :|a)

He'll be made aware of his Queen at some point. The Chives nest kitchen loves the Queen. He'll probably be appropriately tongue-tied over her. He'll try to keep the awkward 'goddamn goddamning to himself in Hungarian.

The others I suppose we'll see. My money is on he'll make friends with some of the assorted Bowens about his age and know Tess as the cool aunt/sister/cousin if nothing else.

[onlytolerable]

That's so cute. Katya speaks Hungarian, I think. If nothing else, she can swear in it.

Maybe Julien and Marc Bowen have a secret competition to see who can father the most kids?!!! I do think Tess is the most likely candidate.

[thepupthatmatters]

They'll get along just fine. \o/

I think Marc has already won.
But yes, it makes sense. o/

[cutslikeaspade]

Jake might get on well with him, they're of an age and all. He can teach him to ride or something, idk. Lelial might show up now and then, in her garden wanderings maybe. Theo's a natural pylon for kids/teenagers, feel free to throw him at the Heart King when the opportunity presents. After he has a laughing fit when the truth comes out Ethan might be a good one for training, maybe, in more than just weapons and psychosis, lol.

[thepupthatmatters]

Huzzah! Aleksei has no idea about horses, but he'd probably love them. Jake just as to promise not to reveal any secret dorking. And I'll throw him at the others to see what sticks.

Where's the love, Ethan. Where's the love.

[cutslikeaspade]

Jake promises. He's a boy of quiet presence, remember? For Julien? Or anything that came from his loins? ARE you serious? Regarding tagging, I'm assuming that Al just arrived and will be checking in, so to speak, yis?

[thepupthatmatters]

Yay normal friends. \o/
Laughing in the face of a child. Rood. :|
Yup! He arrived this morning and is just setting out as a proper Two.

[wilderhearts]

Ethan'd never laugh in the KID's face, come on. Also, it just occurred to me that Jake, Eileen, Aleksi and Annie are the next generation of Jordan, Avery, Declan and Ethan. Should we be afeared?

[somuchheart]

What if I showed up super late. What then.

Ahhh okay the one who will have the most opportunity to interact with him is probably Kritika? Who will just spread tales about how Katya is perfect and who will take him under her wing and be like "so you just have to aim for King okay that's the whole point".

Besides that, I don't see much happening unless he wants an NPC joker fucking with his life that is totally doable

[thepupthatmatters]

Well then /still attacks with hugs

When he starts mooning around because hnnn Katya they can become buddies. She has to promise to correct his accent if he promises to become King. :|a

[longingforthenight]

Oh maaaaan they can be ridiculous-crushes-on-Katya-buddies, y/n? And she will correct his accent except Kritika still has some traces of an Indian accent so let's see how that goes XD

[thepupthatmatters]

You know they can. o/
And surely this can only go well for his accent. Hungarian with a mix of Indian. Like all the cool kids.

[longingforthenight]

Perfect. She needs someone to whine with about Katya's beauty. ;3;
And okay the more Indian your accent, the cooler you are. Let's be real.
